Metallic foams have attracted attention of all the industries because of their high strength to weight ratio and long life. Particularly, aluminium foams have approximately uniform pores in the structure which is responsible for their higher mechanical properties in comparison to the conventional structure. In the present work, the aluminium foams were developed by powder metallurgy technique using the camphor as a space holding and Al6061 powder as a matrix, mixed using a ball milling machine at 200 RPM for 30 minutes, compacted using a universal testing machine at 450 MPa pressure and sintered in a muffle furnace at 500°C for one hour, the camphor burns out and aluminium foam developed. With an increase in the volume fraction of camphor by volume up to 50%, porosity increases, compressive strength decreases by almost 66%, compressive strain increases by almost 100%, and the highest strain energy is absorbed by 30% camphor-based aluminium foam.
